I just rebuilt my Webber 2BL Progressive carb and have a major flat spot as soon as I go to take off (have to pedal it to go) even after each time I shift it falls on its face. I did not buld the motor, it is a 1500 with dual port heads, Scat intake, points dist. has bigger cam ???, I just got a electronic dist. to put in soon. Does anyone have any ideas??

if its popping through the carb when it does it its a fuel if not its a timming issue. probably not advancing correctly and your new distributor may take care of it.

Check the idle jet on front side of carb toward the shroud. If it's plugged you got a flat spot.
